I’m working on a Writing question and need guidance to help me study.

Please respond to the following post with a long paragraph with your opinion.

What is the impact to the nursing profession and to the public related to the projected nursing shortage? Discuss at least one way that the nursing profession is working toward a resolution of this problem.

The projected nursing shortage will cause insufficient staffing. This will then raise the stress level of the nurses, impact job satisfaction, and make many nurses leave the profession. One study noted that an increase in a nurse workload by one patient increased the chance of a patient dying within 30 days of an admission by 7%. It was also observed that a higher nurse to patient ratio was associated with higher hospital readmission rates. Having a high nurse to patient ratio was also found to increase nurse burnout which then increased urinary tract infections and surgical site infections.

One effort to address the nursing shortage is the Campaign for Nursing’s Future by Johnson & Johnson. It is a multimillion-dollar effort that includes television commercials, recruitment videos, a web site, brochures, and other visuals to promote careers in nursing. There are also some programs that are offering loan forgiveness for future nurse faculty who agree to teach after graduation. Due to the shortage of faculty and clinical preceptors, nursing schools are having to turn away thousands of qualified applicants for the nursing programs. By filling these spots, it will make room for more students to attend nursing programs to help with the projected nursing shortages.
